Field help: (2023) Did you have expenses for household-related services in 2023?

Select Yes if you have had expenses for household-related services in your household.

In the case of household-related services, household work is carried out by a service company. The work must have been carried out by an independent service provider or a service agency.

Deductible services include, for example,

  • Cleaning of the flat, windows and staircases and other common areas,
  • Garden maintenance (e.g. lawn mowing, hedge trimming),
  • Relocation service for private persons (deducting reimbursements from third parties).

You can also find an exemplary list of favoured and non-favoured household services and work done by tradesmen, in the letter of the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) dated 09.11.2016.

Income tax is reduced by 20 percent of expenses (maximum 4.000 Euro).
